Nagra III, IV, IV-s, IS and SN reel to reels Posted by: Seblington
Video duration: 551 seconds Swiss made to the highest standard, these recorders are the best ever made portable reel to reels for their build quality and sound though they do not share the amount of functions the competitors machines had to offer like the Sony APR-2003 and the UHER 4000, 4200 and 4400 did but none of these machines had the syncropulse pilot time system.

Studer A807 reel to reel tape recorder Posted by: Seblington
Video duration: 478 seconds I didn't like these machines at first as I had the A810 which has better electronics in it, however I started to like it once I got some side panels and though not used very often it's a machine I would be very reluctant to part with.

Studer A810 reel to reel tape recorder Posted by: Seblington
Video duration: 577 seconds This is one I use all the time, its sound is fantastic and it can have different tape setups saved into its memory, programming it is easy and it can be connected to a computer, just wish it would take 12" reels like the A812 Related: a810, reel, studer, to |

Boosey & Hawkes wire recorder Posted by: Seblington
Video duration: 511 seconds This machine does not pre date the paper tape and steel band recorder but the wire recorder was the first marketed magnetic recording device available. The recorder has many drawbacks such as wire breaking, snagging and loss of frequency response which is already very poor. Related: dictation, machine, recorder, wire, wwii |

Video duration: 521 seconds Philips only did a few pro tape recorders, the ones I know of are the EL3501, 3503, 3505 and 3509, the model numbers do not reflect their age as the 03 and 09 are the oldest.
